Mike Gravel Schedule

January 23rd
Fly to Phoenix, AZ
Meet and Greet in Mesa, AZ
Barnstorming in Chandler, AZ
Townhall in Phoenix, AZ

"Mayor Yorty is 0 for 2 in his recent comments. I didn't say anything about before he called me, and the rest of the candidates, "pinkos," a reckless assertion. Likewise, he's wrong about me putting national security at risk, as I intentionally left out any compromising portions of the papers. I believe in honest government; with me as President, the government wouldn't tolerate needless wars behind it's peoples backs."

January 24th
Fundraising in Phoenix, AZ
Barnstorming in Surprise, AZ
Barnstorming in Tempe, AZ
Townhall in Peoria, AZ

"Well, Nixon has been doing some things to end the war, but obviously not enough! If he really wanted the war to end, he would've kept his promise and ended the draft. I tried harder than anyone else in the senate to end the draft, but unfortunately it wasn't enough. That's why I'm running for President, so this nation can be led by someone who will really do what it takes to end the war."

January 25th
Barnstorming in Apache Junction, AZ
Meet and Greet in Sierra Vista, AZ
Barnstorming in Oro Valley, AZ

"The current system isn't working. We need to respond to domestic affairs with positivity, not anger, and we need to respond to foreign affairs by getting the hell out of Vietnam, and ensuring nothing like it happens ever again. It's my hope that we can start that journey this week, here in Arizona, and all the way to Washington D.C.!"

About 20 minutes left before I go with the results.

I know it's lazy and bad, but I'd like to repeat my schedule from last week with changes to the town's. All New Hampshire, all the time.

Sure. It won't have much of an impact, but it won't hurt polling numbers.

And that's all for now, results will come in soon!

Sorry for my tardiness, I've had a few problems in real life. It's not too late, is it?

And thanks again to Lumine for doing this, it's not only quite fun but a great way to brush up on my 70s US political history.

ABC News Special, Jan 29th, 1972:


Smith: Evening, this is Howard K. Smith from ABC News from Washington, brining you an update on the 1972 Presidential Race. This week saw another candidate dropping out of the race before the primaries, this time being Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, ending her bid due to poor fundraising despite making quite an impact during her two-week effort for the presidency. While being low profile, the Arizona and Iowa caucuses have been strongly contested by several candidates, and they bring special significance to frontrunners Edmund Muskie and Richard Nixon, as their position depends on their ability to beat expectations and crush their many rivals. So let’s take a look at the results released by the Democratic and Republican HQ’s.

Republican Iowa Caucus:

Richard Nixon: 73.79% (30)
Barry Goldwater Jr: 17.98% (7)
Howard J. Morgens: 8.23%

Democratic Iowa Caucus:

Ed Muskie: 26.19% (17)
Uncommitted: 18.01% (10)
George McGovern: 17.60% (10)
Eugene McCarthy: 16.78% (9)
John Lindsay: 12.56%
Jimmy Carter: 6.11%
Mike Gravel: 1.34%
Sam Yorty: 0.89%
Shirley Chisholm: 0.42%

Smith: So there you have it, a convincing victory for President Nixon against Congressman Goldwater, who nonetheless managed to clinch seven delegates for the Republican Convention. Mr. Morgens barely campaigned in the state, but he got a respectable 8% mostly due to news coverage and ads. On the Democratic side Senator Muskie was the clear winner, yet his margin of victory is slightly underwhelming considering he only got seventeen delegates. There was a brutal fight between McGovern, McCarthy and the Uncommitted slate for second and third, and in the end McGovern would barely prevail for third. Closing the field comes Lindsay with a strong 12%, and Governor Carter with a more than surprising 6% despite minimum efforts. Closing the field we have negligible showings for Mike Gravel, Sam Yorty and Congresswoman Chisholm, who remained on the ballot. Let’s go to Arizona now:

Republican Arizona Caucus:

Richard Nixon: 57.16% (17)
Barry Goldwater Jr: 39.82% (11)
Howard Morgens: 3.02%

Democratic Arizona Caucus:

John Lindsay: 27.06% (8 )
Sam Yorty: 20.12% (6)
Mike Gravel: 17.81% (6)
Ed Muskie: 17.73% (5)
George McGovern: 13.23%
Jimmy Carter: 3.60%
Eugene McCarthy: 0.34%
Shirley Chisholm: 0.11%

Smith: I… eh… truly surprising results given the opinion polls, I must say. The main story has to be the Arizona Caucus here, we were hearing Congressman Goldwater was putting in place quite an operation, but to upstage the President and almost win 40% of the vote? It’s not as serious as the McCarthy result in New Hampshire last election since it’s a low profile caucus, but this spells trouble for the Nixon campaign, as Goldwater can now claim to be a more than serious challenger. The question is, of course, whether he can make inroads in New Hampshire, where Mr. Morgens has a lot of advantage.

(Cheering from the Goldwater HQ, we see Goldwater Sr and Jr celebrating)

Smith: The Democratic Caucus is also a large story, because Senator Muskie has been quite upstaged as well. Despite polls putting him head to head with Mayor Lindsay it seems his efforts have collapsed due to a lack of serious effort until the last week, strong "Nixon-lite" attacks and due tostrong Yorty and Gravel operations, leaving not only the New York Mayor the true winner of the night, but Sam Yorty in… second place. Mike Gravel also steals the anti-war crown for McGovern, leaving Muskie as low as fourth in what could have been a victory for him. Whether these results will change the dynamic of the race remain to be seen, but the first page of the 1972 spells a challenge for Richard Nixon… and trouble for Ed Muskie.

Who did you vote for in the caucus: Sam Yorty

Party: Republican Party
Location: Northwood, Iowa
Occupation: Preacher and Store Owner
Who did you vote for in the caucus: Goldwater

Mayor Lindsay Victory Speech



"Tonight, the citizens of Arizona spoke loud and clear: We need a fighter in Washington! For to long, Washington has pushed a President onto America, but tonight, America is sending a message that we won't accept their nominee. I give a thanks to Arizona voters, and a thanks to my opponents in this contest for giving us a contest of ideas rather than a contest of rhetoric. To voters in the upcoming states, I promise you - voting for John Lindsay in 1972 will send a message to the power brokers that Americans want to send a President to Washington to change the status quo, to end the wars, and to instead fight for the people of this country."

ROUND 4 ENDORSEMENTS!!!!!
The following people endorsed Congressman John G. Schmitz for Presudent for Round 4

Rev. Jerry Falwell
Pastor and Founder of Liberty University and Academy
   "Congressman Schmitz is the only candidate in the race that is willing to talk about race issues and religious liberty. Whites and blacks are not destined to be mixed, Congressman Schmitz is correct about that. We also need a deep religious man and that man is Congressman John G. Schmitz. I hope you join my family in supporting John G. Schmitz."
Rev. Falwell will campaign in West Virgina, Virginia and Kentucky over this week


Clay Smothers
Black State Representative from Texas
   "Well, I know I'll get some heat from this but I've decided to endorse Congressman Schmitz for President. I agree with him on race and I might even go farther than him or the KKK, even I wouldn't mind even being a slave. Slavery is good, it builds industry. This, I know isn't Congressman Schmitzs position but it's mine and I look forward to talking to him about race in the future."
Meeting with Pro-Slavery Groups and campaigning in Louisana and Texas


Thomas S. Gates Jr.
Former Lieutenant Commander and Secretary of Navy under Eisenhower
  "We need a President who will stand with our Soliders and help our veterans, that man is Congressman Schmitz, Congressman Schmitz himself did once take the call himself to protect our country and our citizens and he's taking it again, join me in supporting John Schmitz for President."
Meeting with Veterans and Active Duty Soliders across the country

Turn Five: Fear and Loathing in New Hampshire:
January 30th to February 28, 1972


In the News!

Nixon goes to China!
Historic eight day visit to Beijing, Nixon first President to visit China

"Bloody Sunday" shocks the United Kingdom:
Thirteen dead after paratroopers shot unarmed protestors

Paris Peace Talks more and more unlikely to succeed
North Vietnamese delegation walks out to protest increasing air raids on Hanoi:

1.- February 1972 As you noticed, this turn covers the entire month of February. I decided to proceed that way because no primaries or caucuses were held here, and having five consecutive turns without anything important will probably kill the momentum we have been able to keep. Because of that, you have five days to plan your schedules, given that this turn includes debates and the early work to win New Hampshire and Florida.

2.- Illinois Primary: February 28th is the deadline to file in for the March 21st Illinois Primary, so if you are planning to contest it, please don't forget to file-in in your schedule.

3.- Special Endorser: William Loeb: The first special endorser has been unblocked! Normally I would allow players to contest it, but given the field and his performance so far Spiral easily wins the support of William Loeb and the Manchester Union Leader. Loeb supported Yorty in OTL, and here he would be even more supportive. That said, this just covers the Democratic side, Goldwater Jr and Morgens can apply for the Loeb endorsement for their respective primary. Spiral's reward is a large polling boost for the next turn, and a special bonus I will have to tell him in private.

4.- Nixon in China: As you know, Richard Nixon visited China from February 21st to February 28th, and as a result he won't be able to campaign that week. On the other hand, he will get positive media coverage for the trip, so this historical event is to be taken as a balanced  one (Nixon's gameplay is dimished, but he gets extra support).

Gallup: President Nixon's Approval Rating:

Approve: 50% (+1)
Disapprove: 41% (+2)
Undecided: 9% (-3)

Gallup: 1972 Presidential Election:


Generic Democrat: 41% (+1)
Richard M. Nixon: 40% (-1)
 George Wallace: 11% (-1)
John G. Schmitz: 1-2% (+-1)
Undecided: 6%

Primary Polling

Gallup: Republican Primary:

Richard Nixon: 67% (-3)
Barry Goldwater Jr: 19% (+7)
Howard Morgens: 6% (-1)
Undecided: 8% (-3)

It's Barrymentum for the Republicans as conservatives get fired up over the shocking Arizona result. Goldwater Jr. is now being taken seriously by many primary voters (especially those angry over the China overture), which means his polling rises. On the other hand, a failure to meet the expectations of being a credible challenger would cause a lot of damage to his campaign. While Goldwater comes out of Arizona swinging, he also faces a strategic dilemma: Howard Morgens has been investing his time and resources into the high profile New Hampshire, holding a lot of advantage over the conservative challenger.

Gallup: Democratic Primary:

Ed Muskie: 27% (-1)
John Lindsay: 21% (+3)
Sam Yorty: 14%
George McGovern: 11% (+1)
Mike Gravel: 10% (+1)
Eugene McCarthy: 8% (+1)
Jimmy Carter: 4%
Undecided: 6% (-2)

The barrage of attacks continue, as the reaction towards Yorty keep his national momentum down. Lindsay is the clear winner here, as the failure of Muskie to keep expectations up makes him vulnerable to the New York Mayor as a more than credible runner-up. The ones with the higher dilemma are, of course, the anti-war trio, as they fight for the same votes and in doing so they divide their own support. New Hampshire will certainly be crucial as Muskie needs to win there, just as one of the anti-war trio needs to come out on top if they are to claim the momentum.

Random and Player Consecuence Events:

Lindsay faces positive coverage, polling and fundraising surge:

Riding high in the polls today is New York City Mayor John Lindsay, who convincingly won the Arizona caucus to become the likely liberal/moderate alternative to Senator Ed Muskie. The news media have been giving increased coverage to the Mayor as the New Hampshire and Florida Primaries near, with the consecuence of significantly improving Lindsay's chances moving ahead on the calendar.

Muskie Debate Performance

First of all, I'd like to thank you all for having me, and hosting this debate.

1. Now, busing would not be necessary if it weren't for the insidious stain of geographic segregation. You have large swaths of America dominated by one race. Without busing, and the integration it allows, the preconceived misconceptions about each race will be allowed to flourish. And as long as those misconceptions continue to exist, we will not enter a post-racial America. This solution will be difficult, but frankly it is the only solution to end segregation currently on the table. I stand unequivocally in favor of busing and desegregation in our schools.

2. With my plan for  Southeast Asia, there will be no need for the draft, so of course I will support an end of forced conscription. However, the issue of amnesty for draft dodgers is a nuanced one. To simply forgive them is an insult to our brave men dying overseas. Those who fled the country due to the draft must be repatriated, and sensible solution must be reached for them, and amnesty is no solution. Our men died because they followed the law, and these men are still alive because they violated it. However, simply filling our jails with repatriated citizens is nonsensical. I would advocate for mandatory community service for ten years, and a fine, even though nothing even close to that will do justice for our fallen soldiers.

3. I will support our nominee for President, no matter whom he or she is.

4. As President, I will take any and all American troops out of offensive rolls, and begin a massive scale back of our presence in Southeast Asia. The only American military presence left in the region will be at our embassies, and limited military bases. I will move our soldiers out of harms way, and work towards a reasonable approach to peace in the region, and if none can be achieved, it's the South Vietnamese's war to win or lose, not ours. Thank you, and goodnight.
